About this title

Review

It's a book packed with artists installations from around the world and over the course of many years. Some are small, most are big and the book itself is pretty large in size, which is to accommodate some of the most special imagery I've seen in a book in a long time. You will basically want to pull out the photographs and put them on your wall (Creative Boom)

The definite visual guide to the immersive, experiential and iconic art works that have changed how we perceive art today... The book moves beyond the four walls of the gallery and celebrates art at its most vivacious, engaging audiences in topics like environment, political corruption and refugee crisis, while enjoying the more playful and absurd qualities of contemporary art. (.Cent Magazine)

This book is big, it has glossy pages, that are covered in photographs that take up most of the page and then with some short text explaining the piece and giving you some information about it. It made me just want to experience this art so much more in real life and I'm actually going to make an effort to try and seek out more installations. (Is This Real Life)
